And it also depends on the student as well. Because when I applied to Pepperdine (it was my # 1 school) the scholarships that they had given me (which they said were "preliminary" because they hadn't had all my parents finanical information) were taken away because A) according to them I lied on the financial aid forms (which i didnt) and B) my parents made too much money for me to receive those "scholarships."

My mom works as a teacher, and my dad works for the post office---i'm not sure how they make "too much money" but whatever.
